If we buy the rom here it will be only the demo version? I bought it a long time ago and can’t remember saying that the final release will be BitmapSoft exclusive 

Can get much more "end of December"...

Name your price please.

Can I buy the ROM of the full game somewhere

Played through this all last night, and really enjoyed it. So much so I was sad when it got to the final plot point (which sounded super interesting) and stopped. You've done an amazing job with this, along with the F-Zero and Falco games it's now one of the best things GBStudio things iv'e played.

Saw this is getting a physical release at some point too, congrats and lookin' forward to it. Would that be the same as the demo here or expanded on?

Cheers again too, and keep up the rad work.

Thank you so much for seeing value in my work :)


The physical release is comin along and will hopeful be out this year :)

It expands on the demo with a few more cutscenes of content and a few more unlockable things.  I think about 25 minutes of content more.

is the appearance and reappearance of the NPC at your starting house a bug, i just learned my magic and went back to see if there was anything else to interact with and whenever i reach the platforms the figure appears, but when i reach it and try to interact it disappears

in a cutscene, the "scene" is used in place of seen, "Have you scene this kind of plant before" on a positive note the visuals never fail to leave me stunned

thank you :) Ill look into this

graphics are so good!

Thank you so much :)

Looks and feels great. Loved the characters. Just tested the browser game but want to dive deep into this game. Is the GB rom a demo or the full game? Congrats on the game. I love the tone of it.

Thanks that means a lot :) My friend really didn't like Zitik so I was wondering if I made unlikeable characters lol.

So far the browser game is the same thing that the download is. I'm working on a fuller release that will hopefully be out by the end of June.

Looking forward to the full release :).

This is phenomenal. The artwork is exquisite and the music is beautifully composed. I'm down-right garbage at the game, but I still had an amazing time playing what I have. Great work!

Wow thank you so much! Wasn't expecting any responses like that so thank you :) 

No problem! You truly deserve it!

Thanks for making a .pocket! I'm excited to give it a try.
